I want EVERY SINGLE ONE of your knives. I also maintain that your leather work is fantastic. I've been doing leather stuff for at least a couple years and am no where near your caliber. If I ever win the Lotto I'm putting every one of the knife makers here on a payroll. Mario is gonna have to move up here. Everyone gets a workshop on my mansion's property. Everyone gets paid well. All equipment/materials are supplied. Once a month everyone pays tribute to me by handing over one of there knives.

That's just some really stunning work there- all very awesome! I got a kick out of that one sheath with the horizontal carrier and how you positioned the "A"...kinda follows along with the "crash" theme I'm guessing?

My two favorites! (No surprises there, huh?)What are you asking for the Bowie? PM me if you'd rather.

The Bowie was made a couple of years ago for a Soldier deploying to Afghanistan. The handle material was made from some of his old uniforms that he sent along with two shell casings from a previous deployment. One like it would be int the $225 range.

Thank you ! Did you ever get some feedback pics of the bowie in action on his deployment...? Just curious..

A little. He did carry it but one of the first things that is done with shiny blades is that they are spray painted to prevent giving away your position. He is since home and the spray paint has been removed.

And it looks like with using the snaps a horizontal belt carry ta boot.Very nice!

I love being out in the woods! I like this quote from Mors Kochanski - "The more you know, the less you carry". I believe in the same creed, & think "Knowledge & honed skills" are the best things to carry with ya when you're out in the wilds. They're the ultimate "ultralight" gear!

Awesome build! Incorporating memorabilia into the knife is fantastic. All things considered, $225 for heirloom work like that is dirt cheap, IMHO!
